We should colour our heart as clean as the sky

Teachings on Alakhpurījī, the sky, and the three states.

We are a fine drip from Alakhpurījī’s Kailash Parvat, a tiny part of the sky. The sky is pure and blue; we must become one with it. Beyond the sky are all elements, and we originate from Brahmaloka. All creatures seek happiness, wanting to return to the source, but do not know who they are. The key to liberation is difficult; beings cycle round and round. We come from the universe and quickly depart like a fly. The sky cannot be achieved without pure qualities; layers remain like a dress needing filtration. Earth is a tiny seed; karma pulls us down like gravity. Above gravity, we hang in between, then pass finer layers to become Brahman. That is Alakhpurījī’s attainment: wanting nothing and giving all. Three layers of being exist: waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Dreams reveal karmas; we are caught in a bubble on earth. Through meditation and prayer we practice; in Kali Yuga, saints restore goodness. Yogis must master awakening, then sleep, then dreams. The guru’s stamp is essential, like a passport.

"We have to become one with this sky."

"We are pure inside; when the clothes are dirty, you throw them out."

Ārādya Bhagavān Śrī Alakhpurījī. From the paramparā of the sattva yogya, until today we are, and we are a very fine drip of the Himālaya from Alakhpurījī’s Kailāś Parvat. And from that can come a very fine drip of water; from there is Alakhpurījī’s blessing. He sings for us. Since that prāṇa, what we are talking about, the elements: first is ākāśa. And we are just a very tiny, tiny part of this whole, in this sky, and look today how beautiful, clean, pure, pure... Pure, we are doing this for us because this is the day of our Bhagavān Śrī Devpurījī, Śiva Svarūpa, Alakhpurījī, part of that. Today, his whole energy, everything is in this whole blue sky, Devpurījī. And look at the atmosphere that is pure and beautiful for us, because today is an exceptional day in Bhagavān Śrī Devpurījī, and from Alakhpurījī, the energy is there for us in the form of the pure atmosphere. Alakh Purījī, of course, neither I have seen nor you, but in the Himālayas, there are many, many glories, and it is said that Alakh Purījī’s glaciers, the glaciers are of Alakhpurījī, and they are called the capital glaciers of Alakhpurījī. Nobody knows. Only the stones and the glaciers show. We don’t know, I don’t know. How did we come into this form? How did we get these five elements? How did we become this one sky? Now, today we look into the sky. It is blue, but we don’t know how far, where, and how it is. We have to become one with this sky. There should not be any spot. Nothing can achieve that. For example, even try to come to these clouds. After the clouds, again, furthermore, oxygen, what you’re calling, always. All the fire, air, earth, all the air, water, earth, is all beyond that sky, and we are a part of it, this very tiny of the tiny. We are from there, this Brahmaloka, the skies. All creatures are trying to be happy, and all the time they are going somewhere. It means that they want to go again to where I am from. They don’t know who we are: ko’ham, katham, itam, jatam, jatam... jatam. A key we have to open, and this key is not easy to open, and when we will not open it, we are always moving round and round. And what kind of key is it? How to get the key open? Even in here, in our world, in South India, there is one big temple and an āśrama from some great saint. We don’t know how many ages. We don’t know how old they are, and they have underground. And there is one door after another, and these doors are not openable. And something they tried, and what is there? Only the gold and gold. And they tried to open it, but there was only gold and gold. So, you know this? Did you see it sometime in the newspaper or somewhere? No one can enter, and we don’t know who is inside. They are also, and it was full of truck gold. But that is just like our earth here. Our Vasant, he wants to bring the earth here now. And he said, “Swāmījī, you said, ‘Yes, we put the earth.’” But our Gurū Bhāī, Vasant, he said, like this, “Yes, Swāmījī Gurudev, what we can do, we will do.” He doesn’t say no. And he makes all that he said very correct, and he will do it. But this earth is nothing for me and for you, but how many trucks will it come? In that, there are more doors, and how many ages, we don’t know. And how did they construct the doors? And the lock is not with the key like that. You can break the rock, but not their door. And there was one Swāmī, and we don’t know when it was or what his name was. You can come and go and see, and of course there are guards. So even that is only temporary. He or she who was there is gone. So we came from that, from the universe, and some days we are, then we again go, like a fly, how quickly flying away. So, this sky is there, cannot achieve, because it has to be all qualities, is not acceptable. We have one dress, nice and clean, and then with the heat we are making it, but there is still some kind of layer remaining. Filter and filter, filter and filter, filter and filter. From there, our Earth is like a very, very tiny seed. Who are we? How did we come down? Now we would like to go. We try to go up. But our power, our karma, they let us go down again. You know, when we throw up, it comes down. Why? How is it coming? What is that? What is it? Gravity. But they will come. We will also go above this, our gravity. Then we are in between, neither here nor there. We are hanging there. That’s all. Above that, again, there is something. There is another layer. They take all Indras, or whatever it is. All are still in that layer. And then, suddenly, a very fine layer, very fine. And in that fine, then suddenly we go a little up, that you are Brahman. And then you are Brahman. You become that Brahman. That is Alakhpurījī’s and Devpurījī’s achieved Devpurījī. And that is where they reached Alakhpurījī, and that is what Devpurījī reached. And he was such that he did not want anything. He never asked anyone to give him anything. And if you give me, it means give this and give it to that one. You have so much money, give it to me. And give this poor person, other merchants, “Gurudev, should I give all?” “Who are you to give? And it is not yours. Take all. Throw it. Yes.” He goes into his house, five times more money or whatever is there in his house. You know that in our Līlāmṛta book, Mahāprabhujī was sitting in the āśrama of Kāṭhū, and there were some people singing bhajans, with harmonium and mañjīrās, and Devpurījī is coming. So the people were there, and there was some sound—a very heavy rain or wind, like some. And then, it was only a horse. And it is like this, that someone comes, some minister of the person, and somebody comes to check if something is wrong. And then, they see Devpurījī. But Devpurījī was holding out in his stomach, outside, inside. And Devpurījī was holding like this, and then the horse is still in there. And then he’s riding, and suddenly Devpurījī comes to him. And then they said, “Oh.” So, Mahāprabhujī said, “Be careful, don’t worry, it is Śiva.” Some people tried to run away, but Mahāprabhujī was standing with folded hands. But Mahāprabhujī stood there with his five hands. A few people went away. And then Devpurījī appeared, and Mahāprabhujī was standing in praṇām. Devpurījī was like in another power, and he said the name of Mahāprabhujī: Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā, Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā… And at that time, they were using silver coins, and there were what people gave as gifts, silver coins. So it was about 3-4 kilos, or 5 kilos, or 10 kilos, or something like this. Bring all back deep. Bring all back deep. And Devpurījī cut it, all silver coins, little, little pieces. And Devpurījī cut the silver coins into small pieces. He made it like chapati flowers. He made it like chapati flowers. And he threw it there. And he threw it there. Then he came back, and then he came back. Mahāprabhujī didn’t say anything, and Mahāprabhujī didn’t say anything. Then Devpurījī said, “Gurujī said, they have nothing missing, and they are not poor.” All people know that. That is set, like he became like the sky. And I have in my letter—our Holy Gurujī writes, “Write a letter to me,” and then I also write, and then the telephone comes, so Gurujī calls me only, I also call, so writing, writing… finished, but what is written there, side? Holī Gurujī was writing beautifully. Holī Gurujī was writing beautifully. First, he is telling me, my, you know, like my dearest, yeah. “My dearest of my heart. My dearest of my heart.” And so letters are there. In Jaipur, when we are in the Ashram. And so one day, the letter comes there about ten days, five days, that’s it. And sometimes, a telephone call from here to Vienna to India takes three days. We have sent a message to London. In London, they go with the oceans. The cables are through oceans and coming to Delhi or Kolkata, and then they will transfer to Jaipur, and from Jaipur to the sub-district, these villages. So when I asked in Vienna, they said that they would send a message to London and it would take three days, so please wait. And then, half a day before, they said that at that time you must be there. And so I was waiting. Gurujī was waiting. Gurujī has no telephone, so he went to his bhaktas. And Gurujī was making a mālā all the time. And if there was a telephone for some person, and when his telephone was ringing, Gurujī said, “Is that Mahesh?” Gurujī said, “Gurudev, it will come.” And then the telephone came. Train, train… train. What is that, Swāmījī? It is said from Kolkata that your telephone is not in condition. We apologize. It took five or six days, or not at all. That means, they said, don’t make disturbances. We should live happy days. We will write a letter, okay. Now we have a telephone even near our sleeping bag. So one day, I tell you, this is our Bhagavān Śrī Devpurījī. So Gurujī sent me a letter. My dear Maheśvarānand Purī Mahārāj, Gurujī was making jokes, I think. Today, Devpurījī came at 11 or 12 o’clock in the morning. Holī Gurujī was making prayers, mālā for Mahāprabhujī in the morning. Lunch time for Devpurījīs and evening again for Mahāprabhujī. So said Mahesh, “I became great. I am liberated.” Devpurījī came. First came a sound like an aeroplane, and then he knew that it was Devpurījī. Then Devpurījī came, and Devpurījī came, and Devpurījī said, “My lord, how great that you come here. Where are you going?” Devpurījī said, on the name of Gurujī said, “Madhavānanda, I am going to my Maheśvarānanda. He is in some difficulties. And I want all my bhaktas there, and I gave the mahesh there. So I was going in the sky, and I saw that my bhakta, my disciple, Maheśvarānandajī, and I just gave you blessing.” That letter is in Vienna, written by Holī Gurujī’s hands, and that day when there was something, and it became all beautiful, so there are these called Siddhas, the above Siddha to Siddhas, and then we found it, our Alakhpurījī. Doesn’t matter how we are, my dear, we will be like that dress which is dirty, we throw it away. It’s like when the clothes are dirty, you throw them out. Because we are pure inside. So, you, everyone, have that colored in your heart. And that color is like, it’s our, what we call the sky blue, clean. So there are many, many such great, great saints. They are here also. They are not appearing physically. Maybe sometimes with some wind, and we don’t know what that is. In the dream, and when we go to our dream. So there are three layers of our being. And this is, that one is the physical body, in which we say Jagrīta—we are awakened. We are working, we are driving, so we are there. And this is called, we call it jāgr̥t, aware. And after that is called suṣupti, dreaming, sleeping, sorry, and after that svapna. Jagrat, Suṣupta, and Svapna: these are the layers. This is our level. We can’t go any further. With our dreams, we go many places and experience different things. So those who are dreaming with the problems, fearing, negatives, many things, this is our svapna. This means that our karmas, inside our karmas, are showing you that after your life you will come to this svapna, that you will see again. We are in one bag, and inside this bag is inside. So we are on the earth. There are all animals, and we are all caught in one plastic bubble. And it’s taking us here and there, or suddenly we are sleeping. We think, ah, but we don’t know who is now walking on us. We say, “I’m sleeping.” Very good. But you know how many are there? For example, when you are sleeping, the spider, and they don’t wake you. They are so nice that we can’t, even our skin can be feeling. And it sucks your blood, and you don’t know. And that goes away after itching. Our grandmother, our mother, my father, how is all this? That is good. Or, you know, in the dreams, my grandmother was not good to my mother. And mother, grandmother is coming now with a stick in the dream. And you are running in your room, and she is standing at the door. And with the stick, there are dreams. But there is definitely, your grandmother will not come in my dream. Yes, so that we know that we are still in that consciousness, and so it is how we go. So from this, now we, whatever we have, it is our karma. Karma, karma. So we practice through our prayers, meditations, and in every country in the world, they have some God. And how you have done? So, for example, Bhagavān Rāma, He never makes problems for anyone. And nobody kills, but some different people, they have God, but God is good. But many other people are fighting for their religion. But these people fight for their religion, they kill each other, and that will come back again. Because this Kali Yuga, which is here, will have more and more terrible things. I hope, Alakhpurījī, Devpurījī, they will again make it good. So we will do, and so, in this way, we have to ask. Do you know what you have done today? Good, bad, not bad, good, anything. You have done, in my opinion, you are all positive. From my point of view, you are all positive, but not corona-positive. Corona, we are negative. We are negative, not positive. For him it is positive, but we are negative. Because we do not have such karmas there. Then, whatever you did, you go to sleep. Now, this is for yogīs and yoga practice, and all who said, “I am a great master, and I am a great master.” That is, how do you know in which second you turn from awakened to asleep? And if you know that I know now, I have slept, and I am asleep, that’s what we call the Yoga Nidrā. Mahāprabhujī’s book is beautifully written. Perhaps tomorrow I will translate. How is this sleep? How to awake? And I will tell you. So, but how to give that training? I know that I have a beautiful car. Someone gave me the key. Someone gave the petrol, and someone put it near the road. This is your car, but I never turned my car anyhow. What will I do? That’s it. So we have to learn with that kind of gurus. And guru is everyone, and in Europe there is a more strict guru. Many people are going with a motorbike and three or four children, and one child is in the front, and no one has a helmet. Here in Vienna, Czech, or in Vienna, the police will say, “Where is your certificate?” I don’t know. “Where is your helmet? Why is your little child in the front? And one in the lap of the child of the mother. And mother is sitting on one side.” Here, they will take the moped away and everything away. So this is how people are. So, in India, anyone will go to an electric wire, beat the mouth, cut it, put it here, and then put it there. Jugāṛ. But jugāṛ can also kill you. And here in Europe or in many countries, if you have learned studies, electronics, then they can give you an instrument, otherwise they will give you to the police, to jail. So, many good masters there: for cycling, for electricity, for swimming—everything is a guru. We call guru, and you call the teacher. That’s all. It’s a language. But there are many different kinds of gurus. You see, for example, now medical and surgical. And he can cut your stomach through, and do something, and close it again. You can be that, I’m also a guru, but please don’t give the… And you can say, “Well, I am also such a guru,” but no one will give you a scalpel in your hand. And Holī Gurujī used to say, next to God is the doctor. So that is the guru. And don’t say that it is only the doctor; we call the doctor, but we call the guru. So, my dear, every one of you—then you take your passport, and if he says, “I have no passport, I go,” he said, “Yes.” Police, take him there. Where is your passport? My home. Then bring it. He writes it himself on paper. You are bad, so even our passport, you know how important it is. Similarly, in yoga, in spirituality, that guru’s real stamp, and the stamp is not yours. It is your country, and your country is not from today, many, many years, there it is like this, so the stamp of the Czech Republic, yes. Where are you going? There is my passport, I am Czech, yes, you are Czech, yes, you are… Czech, Swāmījī, where are you going? Where is your passport? India. Swāmī? That. Where is my visa inside? Czech visa. Yes. Good. Please go. Similarly, all yogīs are doing āsanas. So, first we have to master our awakening, everything good, then sleeping, how, and then dreaming, how do you go and dream, and how you can quickly come. I had such a beautiful dream, so I enjoyed that. There is nothing. This is, so the dream comes quickly, the dream goes there. The dream has a power, a mind power, and that mind will bring you wrong, here, there, everywhere. So therefore, in Rāja Yoga, there Holy Gurujī have bhajan. Holī, Gurujī, have bhajan: Sādhanā charā karoharī pyārā sādhanā.
